Or, put another way, a Constitution tells us what the fundamental nature of our society is. A country is usually made up of different communities of people who share certain beliefs but may not necessarily agree on all issues. A Constitution helps serve as a set of rules and principles that all persons in a country can agree upon as the basis of the way in which they want the country to be governed. This includes not only the type of government but also an agreement on certain ideals that they all believe the country should uphold. Statement 2 is Correct. Another important function that the Constitution plays in a democracy is to ensure that a dominant group does not use its power against other, less powerful people or groups.

Trade winds: It is the wind blowing steadily toward the equator from the northeast in the northern hemisphere or the southeast in the southern hemisphere, especially at sea. Two belts of trade winds encircle the earth. These winds are called trade winds because of the fact that they helped the sea merchants in sailing their ships as their (trade winds) direction remain more or less constant and regular. There is a more or less regular inflow of winds from subtropical high-pressure belts to the equatorial low-pressure belt. Hence statement 2 is correct .  According to Ferrel's law( based on Coriolis force generated by the rotation of the earth), trade winds are deflected to the right in the northern hemisphere and to the left in the southern hemisphere.  Hence statement 3 is correct. There is much variation in the weather condition in different parts of the trade winds. The poleward side of the trade winds or eastern sides of the subtropical anticyclones are dry because of the strong subsidence of air currents from above. Because of the dominance of the anticyclonic conditions, there is strong atmospheric stability, strong inversion of temperature, and a clear sky. On the other hand, the equatorward part of the trade winds is humid because they are characterized by atmospheric instability and much precipitation as the trade winds while blowing over the oceans pick up moisture. Trade winds are more regular and constant over the oceans than over the lands. At some places on the lands (eg. S.E . Asia and the southern USA) the trade winds disappear during the summer season due to the formation of low-pressure cells because of high temperatures but the trade winds are more constant and regular over the continents during the winter season . Hence statement 1 is not correct It may be pointed out that the zone of trade winds is called Hadley Cell on the basis of the convective model prepared by Hadley for the entire earth.

Consider the following statements with reference to drought:  A period of below-normal rainfall does not necessarily result in drought conditions.

The term ‘drought’ is applied to an extended period when there is a shortage of water availability due to inadequate precipitation, excessive rate of evaporation, and over-utilization of water from the reservoirs and other storages, including the groundwater. A period of below-normal rainfall does not necessarily result in drought conditions. Hence statement 1 is correct. Some rain returns to the air as water vapor when water evaporates from water surfaces and from moist soil. Plant roots draw some of the moisture from the soil and return it to the air through a process called transpiration. The total amount of water returned to the air by these processes is called evapotranspiration. Sunlight, humidity, temperature, and wind affect the rate of evapotranspiration. When evapotranspiration rates are large, soils can lose moisture and dry conditions can develop. During cool, cloudy weather, evapotranspiration rates may be small enough to offset periods of below-normal precipitation, and drought may be less severe or may not develop at all. Types of Droughts: Meteorological Drought : It is a situation when there is a prolonged period of inadequate rainfall marked with mal-distribution of the same over time and space. Agricultural Drought: It is also known as soil moisture drought, characterized by low soil moisture that is necessary to support the crops, thereby resulting in crop failures. Moreover, if an area has more than 30 percent of its gross cropped area under irrigation, the area is excluded from the drought-prone category.  Hydrological Drought: It results when the availability of water in different storages and reservoirs like aquifers, lakes, reservoirs, etc. falls below what the precipitation can replenish.  Hence statement 2 is correct. Ecological Drought: When the productivity of a natural ecosystem fails due to a shortage of water and as a consequence of ecological distress, damages are induced in the ecosystem.

Recently, a postage stamp was launched to commemorate the 750th birth anniversary of Sri Vedanta Desikan. He was a Sri Vaishnava guru/philosopher and one of the most brilliant stalwarts of Sri Vaishnavism in the post-Ramanuja period.  He was a multi-faceted personality and celebrated as ‘Sarva-Tantra-Svatantra’ or master of all arts and crafts and awarded the title ‘Kavi TarkikaKesari’,  the lion amongst poets and logicians.  He wrote poems, prose, drama, epics, commentaries, scientific texts and philosophical treatises in Sanskrit, Tamil, Prakrit and Manipravalam. His magnum opus, the Rahasya Traya Sara, is a masterly treatise on Prapatti or surrendering oneself to the divine. His masterpiece, Paduka Sahasram, reveals his poetic eloquence and his mathematical ingenuity. In two verses in this collection, Sri Vedanta Desikann gave a solution to a mathematical problem that was solved five centuries later by another mathematician, Leonard Euler. Desikan showed his knowledge of the arts and sciences through other works such as Silpartha-saram, a treatise on sculpture, and Bhugola-nirnayam – a research text on geography. Taking cues from the Vedic scriptures, Vedanta Desikan authored Aahaara Niyamam that detailed how different food items help in maintaining a healthy mind and a disease-free life. His ‘Subhashita Neevi’ contains a fund of moral and ethical advice which is relevant and practical. About Sri Vaishnava tradition: It is a denomination within the Vaishnavism tradition of Hinduism.  Though Nathamuni (10th century CE) is attributed as the founder, its central philosopher was Ramanuja (11th C) who developed the Vishishtadvaita philosophy.  The most striking difference between Srivaishnavas and other Vaishnava groups lies in their interpretation of Vedas.  While other Vaishnava groups interpret Vedic deities like Indra, Rudra, etc. to be same as their Puranic counterparts, Sri Vaishnavas consider these to be different names and forms of Lord Narayan thus claiming that the entire Veda is dedicated for Vishnu worship alone. In this tradition, the ultimate reality and truth are considered to be the divine sharing of the feminine and the masculine, the goddess and the god.  The prefix Sri is used for this sect because they give special importance to the worship of the Goddess Lakshmi, who they believe to act as a mediator between God Vishnu and man. Some of the important acharyas of this tradition are Yamunacharya, Ramanujacharya, Parasara Bhattar, Pillai Lokacharya, Vedanta Desikan.

Recent Context: In the recent times, several multi-million-dollar Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) sales have taken place. For instance, Christie’s sale of an NFT by a digital artist called Beeple set the record for digital art, as it was bought by two Indian-origin crypto enthusiasts for a whopping $69 million. NFTs are tokens that are used to represent ownership of unique items such as art, collectibles, even real estate. T hey can only have one official owner at a time and they're secured by the Ethereum blockchain – no one can modify the record of ownership or copy/paste a new NFT into existence. Hence, statement 1 is correct. About Non-Fungible Token (NFT): NFT is one of a kind asset can be bought and sold similar to any other piece of property. They however have no tangible form and exist in form of certificates only. NFT cannot be broken down into small values and unlike most currencies cannot beexchanged for an equal value. The NFTs have unique value and they cannot be duplicated. NFTs can always be traced back to their original user/supplier. NFTs exist on a blockchain, which is a distributed public ledger that records transactions. So, when an NFT is sent to someone, a ledger entry is made containing an address to the file, which establishes the ownership of that NFT.  Each has a digital signature that makes it impossible for NFTs to be exchanged for or equal to one another (hence, non-fungible). Hence, statement 2 is not correct.

Lord Linlithgow was the longest serving viceroy of India . He was the viceroy from 1936 to 1944. During his time, many important events took place. Rajkot Satyagraha took place in 1938-39 .  It was against the princely ruler of Rajkot state, known as the ‘Thakore’, oppressive taxation regimes, curbs/restrictions on civil liberties such as freedom of speech, freedom to assemble, lack of access to education and other welfare services . Hence statement 1 is correct.  Most of the state revenue that was earned by imposing heavy taxes on its citizens, was spent on the upkeep of the luxurious lifestyles led by the princely ruler. The situation was further aggravated by the fact that the princes had ‘British immunity’ that is they were given protection by the British from domestic and external turmoil or aggression. In exchange for this protection, the princes were expected to support fully, the imperialistic agendas of the British while ignoring the domestic struggles for freedom that were spreading, across their states. Winston Churchill was elected as the prime minister of England in 1940.  The Congress passed the ‘Quit India Resolution’ in 1942 which started the Quit India movement. It was famously called as August revolution. Hence statement 2 is correct.  It was launched after the failure of the Cripps Mission when it failed to solve the constitutional deadlock. Aruna Asaf Ali hoisted the tricolour on the Gowalia Tank ground and on August 9 night, the senior leaders of the Congress were arrested. Due to the arrests, an action plan for the movement was made. Second world war began in 1939 and lasted till 1945 . Hence statement 3 is correct .  It was during Linlithgow’s time that the congress ministries resigned due to outbreak of second world war.

The Indian Independence Act of 1947 made the following three changes in the position of the Assembly: 1. The Assembly was made a fully sovereign body, which could frame any Constitution it pleased. The act empowered the Assembly to abrogate or alter any law made by the British Parliament in relation to India. 2. The Assembly also became a legislative body. In other words, two separate functions were assigned to the Assembly, that is, making of a constitution for free India and enacting of ordinary laws for the country. These two tasks were to be performed on separate days. Thus, the Assembly became the first Parliament of free India (Dominion Legislature). Whenever the Assembly met as the Constituent body it was chaired by Dr. Rajendra Prasad and when it met as the legislative body, it was chaired by G V Mavlankar. These two functions continued till November 26, 1949, when the task of making the Constitution was over. 3. The Muslim League members (hailing from the areas included in the Pakistan) withdrew from the Constituent Assembly for India. Consequently, the total strength of the Assembly came down to 299 as against 389 originally fixed in 1946 under the Cabinet Mission Plan. The strength of the Indian provinces (formerly British Provinces) was reduced from 296 to 229 and those of the princely states from 93 to 70

In 1862, Lord Canning, the then viceroy, nominated three Indians to his legislative council-the Raja of Benaras, the Maharaja of Patiala and Sir Dinkar Rao. 2. It initiated the process of decentralisation by restoring the legislative powers to the Bombay and Madras Presidencies. It thus reversed the centralising tendency that started from the Regulating Act of 1773 and reached its climax under the Charter Act of 1833. This policy of legislative devolution resulted in the grant of almost complete internal autonomy to the provinces in 1937. 3. It also provided for the establishment of new legislative councils for Bengal, North-Western Frontier Province (NWFP) and Punjab, which were established in 1862, 1866 and 1897 respectively. 4. It empowered the Viceroy to make rules and orders for the more convenient trans-action of business in the council. It also gave a recognition to the 'portfolio' system, introduced by Lord Canning in 1859. Under this, a member of the Viceroy's council was made in-charge of one or more departments of the government and was authorised to issue final orders on behalf of the council on matters of his department(s). 5. It empowered the Viceroy to issue ordinances, without the concurrence of the legislative council, during an emergency. The life of such an ordinance was six months. Government of India Act, 1919 provided for the establishment of a public service commission. Hence, a Central Public Service Commission was set up in 1926 for recruiting civil servants
